Psalm 80:14-19 (NASB)
O God of hosts, turn again now, we beseech Thee;
Look down from heaven and see, and take care of this vine,
[15] Even the shoot which Thy right hand has planted,
And on the son whom Thou hast strengthened for Thyself.
[16] It is burned with fire, it is cut down;
They perish at the rebuke of Thy countenance.
[17] Let Thy hand be upon the man of Thy right hand,
Upon the son of man whom Thou didst make strong for Thyself.
[18] Then we shall not turn back from Thee;
Revive us, and we will call upon Thy name.
[19] O Lord God of hosts, restore us;
Cause Thy face to shine upon us, and we will be saved.

Commentary
This was speaking prophetically of Jesus.
vs 19 is a great prayer-asking God to shine upon us (to be in our midst), knowing if God is on our side, we are saved from our enemies.
Psalm 79:8-9 (NASB)
Do not remember the iniquities of our forefathers against us;
Let Thy compassion come quickly to meet us;
For we are brought very low.
[9] Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of Thy name;
And deliver us, and forgive our sins, for Thy name's sake.

Commentary
It is good to continuously go to God for forgiveness.
"It's essential to distinguish between events that are really beyond your control and events you caused yourself."
--Barbara Sher
